In light of the Election 2000 controversy, this important new book challenges us to evaluate the fairness of the present U.S. Electoral College system and to consider six legitimate alternatives to it. A team of 37 top U.S. political experts tackle the fundamental questions that go to the heart of the current debate: How would Electoral College reform affect our federal system of government, national government institutions, and party system? What effect would reform have on the conduct of campaign organizations during elections, media coverage of campaigns, citizen participation, and the distribution of power? On the basis of these deliberations each political expert indicates the extent to which he or she supports or opposes the Electoral College system and the various alternatives to it.
FEATURES
Discussion of the creation, evolution, and current workings of the Electoral College gives readers the relevant background to evaluate its effectiveness today.
Discussion of three reforms and three replacements of the Electoral College offers readers a solid account of current alternatives.
Opinions from thirty seven contributors indicate levels of support for and criticism of the various reforms proposed.

Choosing a President
I bought this book (in addition to his two books) in order to get to know this presidential candidate a bit better.
Although it does provide some insights, they are few and far between. The timing of the publication (mid 2007) leaves out some specific Obama policy positions which would have been nice to have for someone who's reading this. It's an understandable reality of publication, but nonetheless crippling in terms of usefulness.
Reading his speeches this week in light of his refusal of public funding was especially interesting since there is a quote in the book which states:
"The whole issue of money in politics is one that I'm constantly struggling with, because my preference would be that we've got public financing of campaigns and nobody has to raise money whatsoever."
--All Things Considered, October 19, 2006
Overall, its a well put together collection of quotes - I just wish there were more direct stances rather than circumventive oratory.
